Through the mail? Really, Jay Cutler?

by Kisha on February 6, 2013 // 1 Comment

For this post, I had to Google Jay Cutler and these are the first few images that popped up.

I lol’d. Not because Jay Cutler always has the same look on his face, but the fact that he looks even more ridiculous with the photos of the extremely buff man next to his. In case you were wondering, Jay Cutler the bodybuilder was the 2010 Mr. Olympia and has the chest measurement of 57.7 inches.

Insane right?

Anyway, the post is going to be about Jay Cutler the football player and his completely unromantic way of re-proposing to his on-again, off-again fiance, Kristin Cavallari.

I know that they were engaged once, Cutler called it off and then it was back on again. I’m not saying the he needed to go all out this time around but if he’s the one that called it off, wouldn’t you think that he’d try a little harder this time around?

So the details are that since he and Kristin were separated when they decided to get re-engaged, Cutler had to find a way to get the ring to her.

Stop.

Here’s where I think the romantic side should’ve kicked in and Cutler should’ve surprised Kristin at her door, on one knee, ring in hand. That would made any girl go, “Aww.”

Nope.

Through the trusty ole’ mail is how he delivered the ring to his baby mama (yeah, they have kid. Almost forgot about that huh?)

It’s not really all on Cutler, it’s on Kristin too for saying yes. Again. After he showed very little effort. Maybe romance isn’t for everyone?

The Post Game’s take on this story had some HILARIOUS comments.

Here is my favorite one:

I really love the internet sometimes.

rossi not impressed

Even Rossi isn’t impressed with Cutler’s lack of romance.

 COMING UP…

On Thursday, thanks to my awesome job, I get to spend the day with Olympians past and present to celebrate the one year countdown to Sochi! Stay tuned for photos and updates from the event! READ MORE

Super Bowl XLVII and the Return of Destiny’s Child

by Kisha on February 4, 2013 // 0 Comments

Joe_Flacco

Looks like I was wrong about “Average” Joe Flacco. Am I shocked that the Baltimore Ravens won the Super Bowl? A little bit. I think I was more surprised with how close the San Francisco 49ers came to winning the whole thing.

The final score was 34-31 and I’ll admit, it wasn’t the most exciting game from the start. The 49ers looked sloppy, unprepared while the Ravens came out calm and ready. In my opinion, Colin Kaepernick is the real “Awww” story of the Super Bowl. While my 11-year-old self couldn’t help but cheer for the 49ers, my 25-year-old self was pretty bummed that the Patriots were not playing instead. This might sound a little spoiled but Super Bowl weekend sucks when the Patriots aren’t in it.

…ok yeah, that was a really spoiled thing to say. (Sorry, Browns and Jaguars fans.)

While it was an overall a relaxing evening of watching football, there’s something having someone to root for and not just rooting against a team. I’m not a Ravens hater, after seeing them lose year after year against the Patriots, you always feel bad for the guys…almost.

So what was the x-factor for the Ravens? Was it really a stellar night of football for Flacco? Possibly, he played like an elite quarterback during the first half of the game. Was the defense playing with a little bit of oomph? Maybe. It was the ever-so-emotional Ray Lewis’ last game in the NFL and what better way to cap a dominating career than with a Super Bowl ring?

Ray Lewis GIFTerrifying, right?

Maybe it was just a combination of all of these things. What a better time for things to come together, right? Congrats, Ravens fans! 49ers fans, keep your chin up, you’ve got quite the quarterback to build a team on.

Now for the other part of this post, freaking DESTINY’S CHILD.

destinys-child-futuristic

Here’s what happened: Ryan and I spent Super Bowl Sunday with his awesome parents and we were all calmly watching game with some spinach dip and chili. It was a nice and cozy evening.

I was starting to freak out when Beyonce hit the stage. But it was like the, “get really excited but not too obnoxious because you’re with your boyfriend’s parents and they don’t know how much of a Queen Bey fan you are” type of freak out. Beyonce was fierce as expected and while her singing was meh, her performance was just electrifying.

Everything was fine, that is until, Kelly and Michelle popped out of the stage like a pair of bootylicious jack in the boxes.

I went bananas.

It was everything I wanted in a halftime show: intense dancing, decent amount of pyrotechnics and a medley of their greatest hits. I don’t want to hear your new stuff, just play the songs that I danced to in my high school prom. Is that so much to ask for?

Thanks Pepsi for making my Sunday all bootylicious.

I wanted to share with you all my favorite DC song/video. The video is ridiculous. I miss the days of music videos where everyone wore matching outfits and broke out into dance. All. The. Time. (Btw, are they dancing in front of the Mayan ruins?)

“Average” Joe Flacco

by Kisha on January 28, 2013 // 1 Comment

Is there anyone more blah than Joe Flacco?

I mean, his own dad thinks he’s nothing interesting.

“Joe is dull,” Steve Flacco said in a telephone interview. “As dull as he is portrayed in the media, he’s that dull. He is dull.”

Joe Flacco stache

I’ll be honest, I have nothing against Joe Flacco. He’s quietly led the Baltimore Ravens to Super Bowl XLVII and yet no one is really paying attention. To take some things into perspective, here is Joe Flacco’s statistics for this season:

He’s completed 317 of 531 pass attempts, 3,817 total yards and 22 touchdowns.

The most surprising thing about his stats is that he’s led the Ravens in 4 comebacks in the fourth quarter this year. Did you realize this? I really had no idea. I looked to see how many comebacks Tom Brady has led this season: one game.

In no way does this make Joe Flacco an elite quarterback. To be honest, even if the Ravens win the Super Bowl, I’m not entirely sure that I was rank him among Brady, the Mannings or Rodgers.

Here’s something to consider, if Flacco does win on Sunday, he’d have just as much Super Bowl wins as Rodgers. So what is it about Flacco that makes me less elite-ish? It could be that Flacco’s wins, while not always blowouts, seem to come to the surprise of many.

Remember when Reebok came out with these Fantasy File things? They were so ridiculous but awesome.

The Ravens are not the team you can confidently say will always win a game BUT they are the team that, when you face them in the playoffs, you get a littler nervous. As an opposing team, you’re never quite sure what type of Ravens team you’ll face. I’m sure that the fact that it’s Ray Lewis’ final year helps add a little more emotional fuel and motivation. Say what you will about Ray Lewis off the field, but on the field, his intensity is what defines the Ravens’ defense.

Next weekend is the Super Bowl and it’s definitely an interesting one. I have no allegiances to either of these teams (although my 7 year-old self is rooting for the 49ers) but it will be an emotional game. From the impressive showing so far of 49ers quarterback Colin Kaepernick to Ray Lewis’ leaving it all on the field in his final game as Raven, there is more than enough reason for any football fan to tune in.

I’m curious, will you watch the Super Bowl? Who do you think will win? Comment with your predictions! READ MORE

The Friday Five: Hilarious videos

by Kisha on January 25, 2013 // 0 Comments

We made it! It’s Friday!

This week was another awesome one but man, it was quite busy. I started a brand new (amazing)  job in Boston so I’ve been in the process of adjusting to my new commute and schedule. Gotta say folks, I love where I work now and we’re doing some really exciting things (if you’d like to connect professionally, find me on LinkedIn.)

So what is the Friday Five?

During the week, I come across some amazing things on the interwebz and every Friday, I’ll pick a theme. Today’s theme is Hilarious videos. Yeah, it’s pretty generic but these are five videos that legitimately made me LOL this week, enjoy!

5. Baby Girl Laughing Hysterically at Dog Eating Popcorn

So there a few things that will consistently make me laugh: videos of puppies and laughing babies. This baby in this video has one of the best laughs I’ve ever heard. I promise it’ll make you giggle.

4. The Daily Grace: Rihanna’s S&M

Grace Helbig is one of my favorite people on the internet. She is one of the most successful vloggers on YouTube and not to mention, she’s hilarious. This was one of the first videos I watched of hers and it’s now the only thing I think about when I hear this song. Sorry, Ri Ri.

3. Cat Jump Fail with Music: Sail by AWOLNATION

The music to this video is really what makes it. Here’s to hoping the kitty made it out ok.

2. Kristen Bell’s Sloth Meltdown 

I know this video is old but this brings me to tears every time. I mentioned on Facebook that I’ve decided that I want to be Kristen Bell’s best friend. My friend’s comment below is just so true:

KristenBell_FB

“…I wish I loved something as much as she loves slothes…”

And finally, my number one video is…

The NFL: A Bad Lip Read

Football fans, this is just so great and ridiculous. The people who do the Bad Lip Reads have other videos but this one will make any football fan lol. There are also a few Patriots players featured in the video, which is awesome.

“I want it NOW! I want cake NOW!” – 49ers Head Coach Jim Harbaugh

Hope you all had a great week.
